Itinerary
Start your visit by exploring the city's medieval towers, particularly the iconic Asinelli and Garisenda towers, which offer stunning views of the red-roofed cityscape. Stroll through the historic Piazza Maggiore, home to the impressive Basilica di San Petronio.
Food lovers will be in paradise here. Bologna is the birthplace of Bolognese sauce and offers a variety of mouthwatering dishes. Visit the bustling Quadrilatero district to sample local specialties and fresh produce. Don’t miss a chance to indulge in handmade tortellini or a slice of mortadella, perfectly paired with a glass of local Lambrusco.
Ravenna, “The Mosaic City”, is best known for its churches, which date back 1,500 years and are decorated with stunning Byzantine mosaics. If you're travelling from Bologna, it's approximately 85 kms (53 miles) to Ravenna's port - Porto Corsini, and 140 kms (87 miles) from Venice - a journey that takes about 2 hours by train. Your cruise documents will outline your transfer options.

You can visit the Grandmasters palace decorated with coats of arms and frescoes. Saint-John’s cathedral and the ramparts which have guarded the city since the 16th century are also among the most emblematic sites of the city. Arranged in terraces, the Barrakka Gardens will punctuate your promenade with a green and floral experience.

Ship Reviews (1)
The $450 for the Internet cafe was expensive and the cheap, food and beverage package at $900 American dollars was outrageous - but at least it saved us the compulsory tip of 20% on every drink purchased.. The food on the ship was plentiful and filling but nothing special and the specialty restaurants at an additional cover charge of $120 American for the one specialty we took, was overpriced and over valued. And $610 USD for simple medical services that in Australia would've cost about $30 was a rip off and a packet of common antibiotics which in Australia would cost $24, was on the ship, $240 that is 8 USD s a pill!
And the crowning disappointment was with the one shore excursion we decided to buy from Norwegian. Immediately we paid for it my knee gave way making it impossible to do the walking on that tour, but there was no chance of getting a refund, - so that was another $140 American wasted. The cruz director and his deputy were absolutely hopeless and at the morning television presentation they told us little about what we should be doing that day but comprised mainly banal chatter between the two of them that we only watched once because we couldn't believe how bad it was. We saw mention of a turndown Service which never occurred in our mini suite, and the movies offered were awful.
But on the positive note, their tender operations were better than other lines, and nearly all of their wait staff were helpful and friendly although some had very little understanding of English. The couple of production shows were very ordinary and most of the entertainment seemed to consist of single or duo artists, or the cruz director interviewing and embarrassing guests, or yet another Trivia, which of course would cost the cruz company next to nothing! We would only cruise Norwegian again if it was the only ship going where we wanted to go at the time we wanted.
